AMC CONCORD ALTERNATOR PROBLEM

1980 AMC Concord • 6 cylinder 2WD Automatic •

How do you tighten up the 1979 amc concord alternator belt? My battery is dying and I think its the alternator belt being to loose battery holds a charge and the dvom says the alternator is putting out 14v.

Is the belt making any noise to indicate it is loose? There should be aprox 3/4" play in it. As far as tightening it, loosten the mounting bracket bolts and then with a pry bar, old pressure on it to tighten it. Once the belt is tight enough, retighten the bolts.
